Ship Data Centre (ShipDC), a subsidiary of ClassNK, has announced that its database service will now receive marine weather information from the Japan Weather Association (JWA).
JWA offers big data marine weather information including meteorological and oceanographic phenomena, allowing a vessel to modify its route in a bid to achieve fuel-efficiency and a strategic speed to ensure punctuality.

JWA will offer real-time marine weather information such as offshore wind (direction, speed), waves (height, frequency, direction) and ocean currents (direction, speed).
ShipDC will also offeroptional information such as long-term marine weather information, wave spectral information.
A safer ship design will be facilitated by the help of the feedback following an extensive assessment of voyage data procured from the sea-going vessels and the meteorological information.
